Run With Purpose. Give With Heart. Support HNF’s 2026 TCS New York City Marathon Team

Every step tells a story. This November, a courageous group of runners will take to the streets of New York City as part of the TCS New York City Marathon — running not just for themselves, but for the millions of people living with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) and other hereditary neuropathies.

Why We Run

CMT is the most common inherited neurological disorder, affecting approximately 1 in 2,500 people worldwide. It causes progressive muscle weakness, loss of sensation, and mobility challenges that impact everyday life. Despite its prevalence, CMT remains largely underfunded and underrecognized and that is exactly why we run.

Your Support Makes a Difference

Every dollar raised through our marathon team goes directly toward funding critical CMT research, advancing new treatments, and providing vital resources to patients and families navigating life with hereditary neuropathy. Together, we are getting closer to a cure.

How You Can Help

Make a donation — No amount is too small. Every contribution brings us one step closer to a world free of CMT
